I can't post all 34 options, so I'll leave out 10 and include a "none of the above" option.
that thing rocks if you actually get to that point in the game.
You could have listed one more since you listed berserker twice
Mmmmm... tough call. I'd go with Navy Seal or Panzer, since they're far too late-game to be useful...
But I went for Oromo warrior.
Since the only thing special about it is a couple first strikes (seriously? maybe I just don't understand the power of first strikes, but it seems incredibly useless and uncreative to me) It also replaces the musketman, which I usually just skip altogether by upgrading maceman > rifleman or longbow > rifleman. Basically it's a UU I'd never use and if I did, I wouldn't notice the difference.
There are a couple other "first strike UUs" besides Oromos - samurai and holkan IIRC - but at least they replace units I actually use.
How should this question be interpreted? A unit like the Ballista Elephant isn't a great upgrade over a regular elephant. However, the Ballista Elephant is still one of the best units in the game.
anything that comes after cuirassiers is basically useless because it has 0 influence over the outcome of the game.
